Legal considerations for deploying BESS in solar-powered communication stations

4 FAQs about Legal considerations for deploying BESS in solar-powered communication stations

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

As the demand for renewable energy sources continues to rise, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a critical component in the transition to a sustainable energy future. Westwood is at the forefront of environmental permitting in states across the nation, helping clients navigate the complexities of the permitting process.

Does Bess meet grid interconnection standards?

Interconnection standards: For larger-scale grid-connected energy storage projects, BESS must meet grid interconnection standards set by local utilities and regulatory bodies, which can vary across geographies. Standards include requirements for voltage, frequency and power quality.

What is EPA's Bess guidance?

EPA has developed comprehensive guidance to help communities safely plan for installation and operation of BESS facilities as well as recommendations for incident response. This webpage includes information from first responder and industry guidance as well as background information on battery energy storage systems and resources.

What are the safety requirements for a Bess battery system?

International standard for the safety of modules and battery systems for use in industrial applications. Safety testing and certification: BESS and components often require independent safety testing and certification by third-party organizations, i such as UL Solutions.
